Mark Ford is an American trainer of Standardbred horses in harness racing, best known for conditioning Gallo Blue Chip, the 2000 Harness Horse of the Year and the sport's then-richest pacer with career earnings of $4,260,959. A native of Lewisburg, West Virginia, Ford is a first-generation horseman who began his career working with prominent trainers Clint Galbraith and Ted Wing, quickly establishing himself as one of the sport's elite conditioners.
Ford achieved several historic milestones early in his career, becoming the youngest trainer to surpass career earnings of $10 million, $20 million, $30 million, $40 million, $50 million, and $60 million. He is the only trainer to win two million-dollar races before turning 30 and has secured training titles at major venues including Meadowlands Racetrack and Yonkers Raceway. Among his other notable horses are millionaires Whosurboy, Turnpike Token, Armbro Animate, Stonebridge Kisses, and Self Professed; top performer On The Attack; and double-gaited world champion Six Day War. Ford maintains one of North America's largest stables, competing regularly at key tracks such as Yonkers Raceway, Meadowlands Racetrack, The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, and Woodbine Mohawk Park for prominent owners.
In 2008, Ford opened the Mark Ford Training Center in Middletown, New York, a state-of-the-art facility featuring expansive barns and a five-eighths-mile track, strategically located near top racing venues in the Northeast. He has also held leadership roles in the industry, including serving as president of the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey since 2015 and as a director for District 8 on the United States Trotting Association board, with his term expiring in 2027.

this is a beautiful article! I love these peons that don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of commenting.

Bob is driving at Georgian for Luc Blais in the Earl Rowe Memorial.  Interesting that Todd would come up for whats essentially an overnight card at Mohwak.

Plenty of dc to come because of Georgian, but this change looks intentional and permanent.  Bobble is listed at both tracks where Moore has 3 at Mohawk, two with TM, one with Travis.

See BJ pushed to an easy 147 change score from the 9 hole

It's Canada though they act like nothing special if he don't make the gate and try too 

Damn Todd Mac gets the call
Who would have thought 2 months or even 1 month ago that BJ would be racing in a nw of $22,500 last 4 starts. I am guessing ZERO.

Shit, with the 2,3,4,5 on the inside this could be a 147 and change mile.  There will be plenty of driver changes because some will be at Georgian too.

So who in your opinion should get to host the race then? It’s obvious the meadowlands are done or else why let the contract expire? I personally think the only place that has put in a bid to host it and is capable of hosting is Hoosier and that’s my home track but we’ve had the BC 3 times and did great all 3 times.

Bring her home $9 investment... hopefully maybe $40 or $50 will pay?
By the way, Northfield has a great card this Saturday.. Almost all the Scioto regulars will be there along with Gingras, Ronnie Wrenn Jr and Corey Callahan
Chris Page is staying behind at Scioto and will have a massive night there.

P3  149/9/45
